Abstract

The acquisitions of stocks implied by the Halloween Strategy could cause abnormal high returns in the first part of November. This paper approaches the behavior of the returns from United States capital markets in two time intervals: the first one from 1st to 9th November and second one from 4th to 8th November. Our investigation uses four maor indexes and it covers three periods: January 1995 - December 2006, January 2007 - December 2015 and January 2016 - December 2024. We found abnormal high returns in the two time intervals for the first and third periods.
